DISTURBANCEs AT MANCHESTER. THE SESSIONS. Ou Thursday, Jas. Haslam, Wm. Smith, Jnseph Whittaker. jiha Gambeit, Rd. Haney, Wm. Irvin, Patrick Barratt, and fames "lurner, were tried for a riot, and a,sauft on the beadles of the [Own. It appeared that on the 10th July, in consequence of the number of person, assembling at Mr. Pollard's , factory, near Ancoats-lone, anplication was made Ni the Police for R•li.totoce. Four beadles went, but finding the crowd (then about 300) so no-' -memos, they agr:ed to 'eon). As swill as tney turned they were shouted at, and when they had got about fifty yards from the crowd they were assailed with stouts from before and b i ehind.— When they had got about two or three hundred yards off, at the White [louse, they were again attacked with stones ia great numbers. The beadles advised them to go borne, about their bu sine,,s ; hut without cffect. The shootings con tinued, and as the beadles turned their faces from the mob, they were again attacked repeatedly.— The number had now increased to 700. The beadles, going towards Ancoats-lane, wet e attack ed in the same way ; they readied the King's Aims, 'where they rvnained some time; but finding the mob gather round the house, they with difficulty got out at the back door, and took shelter in the White Hart public-house. The throwing of stories . increased, and in many instances the beadles were . hit; a stone, aimed. at oce of them as he was -going into the White Hart, struck a young woman and nearly killed her. Notice having been sent to the Police, they remained bete a short time, when finding that the windows were break ing, the beadles escaped out of the back door; and got tats the Robin,Hood, in Newtnn-lane ; this was about half-lust eight ; the mob amount ed to about 2000. They staid here till the M-4- . gistrates, police, and some of the militat y arrived, and daring their stay therothe mob had increas -to about 3000. The object and cry of the mob seemed to be to get the beadles turned out of the 'public-houses, that they might into their bands. By the arrival of the Magistrates, _the COOSitibles were enabled to apprehend some of the mob who had been active; the defendants were amongst these ; and, with the exceptionnf James Ilaslam, were all taken on the spot. Haslam was Seen at the new Bailey next morning, when k was expected that the defendants would be brought tip for examination ; and being instantly recognised as having been active in the mob, he was apprehend ed. He endeavoured to prove an alibi, but his witnesses contradicted each ()Hier so grossly, that no credit could be attached to their testimony. MI the defendants but James Turner were found Guilty; he, it appeared, was very much in MANCIIf,STER, A strong detachment of the 901 b Foot arrived bete yesterday, from Chester, which place they left on Thursday afternoon. „ Monday there was. au assemntage of several thousand fpinuers in the neighbourhood of Ox ford-road, but they tuaniftsted no disposition to disturb the public peace by any acts of violence; for, after holding a consultation for some hours, they gradually dispersed. Stockport and its neigilbonrhood ate still in a eat* os tJpteet tranquillity ; hut with all thrse appearantes of p e aceable demeanor, it is amazing to observe how frequently of late the calamity of fire has occurred in the manufactories in this Veighbouthood. Early on Saturday morning last a fire was dis covered in the printing works of Mr. W. Dixon, at Collyhurst, near this town. It had gained such power when fi rst perceited, by a man who went to work at four o'clock, as to be nearly irresistible. The most active measures were im mediately taken, and the .most prompt assistance rendered to stop its progress ; but noiwithStand ing every effort, property to a considerable amount was destroyed ; and we are sorry to add, the in surance on it was far beneath the value. The cause of the misfortune is not ascertaioed. - A rapid and destructive fire also broke out about six o'clock on Monday evening, in the prentises, No. 9, Back George -street, occupied by Messrs. T. and J. Todd, and Messrs. Calvert. The entire of the building was destroyed ; but by the excel lent management of the engines, and the good will with which a sufficient number of disinter. esred persons assisted with energy, the adjoin ing property was preserved, as well as a con siderable quantity of manufacture&goods, &c.-- The fire is supposed to have been purely acci dental. How it originated is not known. The cash end books of the occupiers were saved. We are sorry to add,- that from an immense multitude collected on the alarm, some disposition to irre gularity was manifested. Stones and mod were thrown at several gentlemen, many of whom felt their effects severely, and it was deemed ne cessary to read the Riot Act. Otte gentleman bled copiously from a blow received on the lace. But these turbulent proceedings. were not carried to extremity ; anti at night all was quiet. A troop of horse was mare,hed to the 'spot. The building was not insured ; Messrs. Calvert, we understand, will incur a loss ; but Messrs. Todst's Insurance will exonerate them completely. . The Manchester and Salford Volunteer Yeo manry Cavalry enter upon their annual permanent duty of five days, on Monday next, in this town. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. (From frheeler l 4. Mancite.yler Chroacle,Saturday, August l.) The condition of the spinners, men, women, and children, is yet unaltered. No difference in it is apparent, but that time and endurance give it deeper shades of imperiousness in the eyes of the public. Without legal employment, there can be no legal maintenance; and on this disgraceful rule many are now voluntarily acting —many from compulsion. Those who would work, cannot— dare not ; they are annoyed, insulted, prevented. The turn-nuts waylay them, and contrive, with out actual violence, to surround individuals in such a" way, that they become prisoners, and are thus conveyed by circles of men to the Committee. The victuals of those at work are destroyed by men on the road posted for the purpose ; and if, tin the report of these injuries, the agents of the police appear, all annoyance has ceased, and the Ibis morning we received the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following are extracts : " PArds, AUG. I.—The King sets out to-day at half-past twelve Irons St. Cloud, PIId after vi siting Saint Germain-en-Lave, his Majesty will retorn.to Paris at six. " Mr. Mayfair has appealed againsoZ.; the sen• :once of the Tribunal of Correctional Police. " M.

PETERSBURGH, JULY 7.—On the 4th inst. the Emperor of Russia, the Empresses, the King of Prussia, the Grand Dukes, Ste. with a splendid procession, made a public entry into this capital. They went to the Cathedral of Casan, where prayers were read, and afterwards to the Palace, amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd. " Roma, JULY 14 —Count I'ortalis has hired a residence here for two months.

" BERLIN, JULY 19.—The Emperor of Russia, who is expected here about the middle of August, will, it is understood, remain about eight or ten days, during which time there will be several brilliant Fetes, grand Military Manoeuvres, &c. " The Grand Doke Nicholas and his Consort will come here next vear. cc VIENNA, JULY 21.—1 t is unilerstood that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will quit Baden , , Vienna." W e stopped the Press yesterday to state, :hat a Council had been summoned yesterday for the purpose Of proroguing Parliament, and that Par lian►rnt would then he prorogued, " unless an Event, which the Nation must deplore, should in the mean time happen, of which there is now, we trust, little probability." A respectable Even ing Paper asserted last night that Parliament was yesterday prorogued for fifty-nine days, but upon what authority we have not been able to ascer tain, or what reason there might be for such a specific limitation. The event to which we al luded, we have the satisfaction of saying, does not appear more likely w happen by any subsequent increase of danger. The Peace-officers of Manchester issued a pub lic notice on Sunday last, referring to the. breach of the Peace which had been committed, staring it to be equally their duty and their determination to suppress, by every legi'imate means, all tumul tuous proceedings, and to bring to justice all who should be concerned in the violation of the peace, as well as to protect those who were desirous of attending to their %yolk, and announcing the pe nal consequences of the unlawful conspiracies which prevailed. Strong hopes were entertained that the well-disposed part of the Journeymen would return tO their work yesterday. We ear nestly hope that this effect has resulted from so timely and so temperate a Notice, and that the example will be gradually, if not immediately, followed by all the refractory Manufacturers. We must again bear testimony to the care, attention, and zeal of Government, who bad made every ill- dicious arrangement fur th►e suppression of any riots that might have arisen, and for securing the persons of the Offenders, by measures at once ouiane anti vigorous. The extensive Emigrations which have so fre quently taken place from various parts of the British Empire, have excited the regret of all the friends of humanity, and the mote so because most of these voluntary exiles from their native country have been exposed to deplorable disap pointments and the severest privations. Melan choly, indeed, have been the disappointments of those who went to the United States of -America, in hopes of active employment and liberal remu neration, but many of whom sunk into poverty, despair, and death ; others linger i❑ misery at this moment, anti many have returned, obviously the wretched victims-of a rash and hopeless expedition. Many, we know, were entrapped by wicked agents to embark in the cause of the Spanish In surgents, and they also experienced, not only cruel disappointment, hut were subject to the most lamentable privations. As the subject is deeply teflecting, and is treated with sound reason ring, as well as liberal policy, in a new' Perio dical work, entitled THE lEGis, which we have ' before noticed with merited praise, and recorn mended to public attention, we shall Avail ourselves this day of a very judicious Essay (see. Qt fourth mt.) which appeared in the last ntrmber of that loyal, useful, and intelli gent publication, siveetely hoping th a t a topic of so interesting,aelimportant a nature will Meet with due considertion on tl. part of our Rit2ers. t Tnr QUEEN—ArraNements were making. •on Saturday for tier MAJESTY to take an airing ant of Kew Palace, by some altqlvtion in her chair and poles, but which (fill not take .place ; the ex . .. pectations were raised on .Sunday,.ibut, we are sorry to say, the QUEEN was not „ti , e!.l enough, and her MAJESTY, we are concerned to say, was not quite so well en Sunday evening as she had been the three previous days, particularlyT on Thursday, when she was better than she has been since she had been at Ken'. The Report of her state yesterday was, " Her MaJEsTy , has, not had quite so good a .night, but is mach the same as she has been for several days past." THE PRINCE REGENT's COURT.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the PHINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton-house, at which the Swedish Minister at tended, and was introduced in due form to his Royal Highness by Lord Viscount - CAtrtErmAGH. as Secretary for Foreign Affairs; his Excellency had an audience of the REGENT, to Whom he de livered a letter, and was most graciously received. His Royal Highness held a Privy Council, at which the Parliament was furdier prorogued from .this day.—On Sunday afternoon his Royal High ness ,qmve a long Rudience to the Duke of Vtit L. - I. I NCirtni and Mr. WaLLESLEY FOL.E. mimcst the end of this month, and return to There are so many pretended letters and corn tnunications from Paris, in the several public prints, that we can place no reliance on any of them till they receive some confirmation from our own Correspondent in that Capital. We received a letter from him this day, and, as we suspected, the dialogue said to have passed beiween THE KING and MONSIEUR, in presence of the Minis ters, whioi has been detailed in the London Journals, is a mere fiction. Indeed, it was too palpably an invention to gain any credit, and our Correspondent has effectually exposed its ab surdity. °M ailing parties arc vaoiaLeil. The whole of the one respectabl e f actory were forced into people of idleness at the close of last week by such means. They entreated to be employed, but, under such circtansisinces.of constant irritation and infrac tion, the owners of the mill could not endure to continue. On Wednesday a dead rabbit, stripped of skin and flesh, was hoisted on a lamp-iron in Deans gate, at the corner of the shambles, with a pla card underneath it, intimating that the spinners would be !educed to that condition before they would " come in." Thus the necessaries and comforts of life become rejected. „Another proprietor, Whose Work-people were annoyed and insulted by a congregated body of the disaffected, sent to the Police Office for pro tection to them, but before the means could ar rive, the assailants were off. All this, of course, is according to a preconeerted system. lOw long things will thus continue, time alone can resolve. The Magistrates are alive to their (Jury ; additional troops are arrived, but it is to be hoped that strong measures will not become necessary for restoring to the inhabitants that se curity climb at present is so much invaded. There is a reward of 5001. offered on conviction of the parties whii . set fire to Messrs. Ormond and Hard castle's factory,..of Bolton ; and it is a singular coincidence, that the cotton factory of Messrs. Swainvone and Co. of Preston, took fire from a cause not yet ascertained, ou the same night, and tit about the same hour with the above. It was, however, soon extinguished.
